The Knight's Error
Hazel slashed her borrowed sword through the spiny, overgrown vines, creating a jagged path to the crumbling castle. She was grateful for her secondhand armor–she could hear the thorns scraping angrily against the metal, longing to tear her flesh but unable to gain purchase. She wondered how many knights had failed simply because they could move no further without a steed (surely, no horse would endure the torture of a thousand tangled scratches) or blinded by forgetting to secure the visor of their helmet. Hazel’s visor may have been twisted in spots and rusting in others, but she had ensured it would hold against the terrors of the vines. She was thankful for the months of studying she’d ensured prior to her quest. She’d snuck into her father’s shop to repair her brother's weathered armor as best she could, and she appreciated her efforts had not been in vain.

Happy National Coming Out Day… Celebrate With Your VOTE!
We are less than a month out from the US elections on November 8, standing at the crossroads of love and fear, knowing that once again, voters will help determine whose lives matter. In my book, all of the anti-trans legislation across America should be enough to send republicans packing. But of course, that’s not the thing that’ll do it. Overturning Roe, though- seems to have sent motivation to many. Good. It’s all the same conversation, really, a political party that is trying to (continue to) legislate a sickly twisted version of Christianity onto all of us. But the cishet rank and file, unless they both know AND support a trans human, likely wouldn’t rush to the polls in any great numbers to save us.

Let’s start with President Putin’s announcement of a partial mobilization of 300,000 troops in support of referendums in southern zones after Donbass regarding Russian intentions to use a vote in the referendum as rationale for joining the seized regions into the Russian Federation. NATO is in an uncertain situation. They forced themselves into the predicament. However, the enigma continues.

Ever since the start of the modern spinoff of The L Word, Generation Q has become the queer show we didn't know we needed. Just like its predecessor, the show is full of drama, love triangles, heavy issues, and inclusion. It also has featured quite a few characters from the original show, like Alice, Bette, Tina and Shane.

Protesters Rally Against Surging Energy Prices and Inflation
War-addicted West needs to stop fooling itself that it can use force to impose its will on the rest of the globe. Despite the fact that developing countries have been free of colonialism and imperialism for a while now, some countries in the West still harbor fantasies about reviving the Ugly Age of imperialism and colonialism to once again achieve worldwide control through the use of force ,which is now witness when countries in the West combine and manipulate a sorry country as a proxy for their part in sparking Russian conducting a special military ops against it by misleading it can join NATO, which has led to the continuing armed conflict between Moscow and Kiev.

To the man that never was
To the man that never was, Sometimes all I can do is think of you, the man that never was. The man I always craved for, whether it was my closeted high school hook up, the bad boy next door who treated only me nicely, the guy I lusted for in uni that we never ended up getting together, the hot neighbour that flirted with me on the way to the elevator, the guy at the bookshop with the ankle monitor, the grindr date that ghosted me, the boyfriend that never was, the husband that never was, the partner I always dreamed of.
